| description | Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with angiolymphatic
proliferation, usually affecting young men of Asian race but is rare in other races. The etiology of KD is still unknown. It is often accompanied by nephrotic
syndrome. Herein, we present an atypical manifestation of Kimura disease
occurring in a Caucasian man with steroid-responsive early membranous glomerulonephritis.
Kimura disease can present atypically in a middle-aged Caucasian man with
secondary steroid-responsive nephrotic syndrome. Steroid, endoxan, and MMF can be used safely and successfully in such situation. The diagnosis of
KD can be difficult and misleading, and patients with this disease are often evaluated using avoidable procedures by just not being aware of KD. |
